Workers are just hours into setting up the Vince Gray transition offices on the fourth floor of the city's Reeves Center at 14th and U streets in Northwest.

But controversy isn't waiting for the offices to open.

The Gray transition team confirmed to NBC4 Thursday that Gray is now reviewing the financial background of Reuben Charles, the little-known businessman that Gray tapped as the executive director of the transition. The office also confirmed that Gray said Charles has not been offered a job in the Gray administration that takes over Jan. 2.
